When the Unknown
becomes aware
of the Known
it makes it
as itself.
When the Impersonal
becomes aware
of the Personal,
the Personal
becomes Impersonal.

What are people working for? Are they not slaves to their desires? Can you imagine how much free time you would have for yourself if 50% of your desires just fell away?

Justifying neuroses,
no matter what shape & form
they manifest in,
is not acceptable.

Focusing on what you don't have
rather than what you do have is neurotic.
Focusing on what you don't have
causes the Neurons to misfire.
Try driving a car that's misfiring,
you'll know what I mean.

Manifest your desires, by all means.
Just don't forget,
you're living in a dream.
Dreams can never become Reality.
Reality will always shatter dreams,
like a stone against a window.

Spend your
time wisely.
Work hard
for what
money cannot buy.
One day it will
serve you well.

Any fool can purchase a diamond.
A wise man looks for the Blue Pearl.
Once seen, never forgotten.
It will transmute
who you believe yourself to be,
beyond recognition.
It worked for me &
if I can do it,
so can you!

INTEREST
Now there's something you cannot buy.
You either have it or you don't.

The Kingdom of God
lies within everyman.
Why chase trinkets?

To the man with
no roof over his head,
a tent
would be considered a mansion.
Opulence
lies
in
simplicity.

He who has the most toys
is the most fearful of all.

It will make no difference to the homeless man when the money market crashes. It will make no difference to the animals when the electricity goes out. It will make no difference to the birds when airplanes no longer fly.

No Equality,
No Democracy.

The amount of lies
a politician spews forth
is in direct proportion
to his corruption.

Put one rotten apple in the middle of a barrel of good ones and watch what happens. A few corrupt people will contaminate others. Can you imagine what a lot of corrupt people are capable of?

Hard work & a man
go hand in hand.
Remove the work.
Sacrifice the man.

First attain Manhood.
It's a prerequisite
to
Godhood.

Idle hands are the devils' workshop.
A lazy mind is the devils' home residence.

Someone once asked me
why people die on the
streets of India.
My answer was very simple,
"They die where they live."

It takes quite a bit to wake up
one man who is fast asleep.
My question to you is
"What's it going to take
to wake up billions?"

A courageous man welcomes
the unknown with open arms.
A fearful man clings
to the known for his very life,
as he knows it.

Birth and Death revolve like a hamster on a wheel.
When the wheel stops, will you get off & walk away
or will you do your best to start it up again?

A true Aborigine knows when his time is due to expire.
At the appointed time he will walk off into the desert,
on his own, to face the God of Death.

Being born is a disaster.
A good death is a blessing.
Living a wanton life
does not an easy death make.

Beyond the idea of birth and death
is Life itself.

Welcome the opposites
and live anew.

How can a programmed man
claim free speech?

I'm happy.
I don't rely on skin for my beauty.
The beauty shop is inside, not outside.

If you don't want to come back &
do this all over again,
don't leave a mess behind.

I am a Living Legend in the Outback of Australia.
My Legend status didn't start till I left.
I was wondering what is going to happen
when I leave this Planet?

I can do this on my own,
guaranteed without failure.
The word 'failure'
has no place
in my vocabulary.

Everyone likes to be a winner.
Stick with me & you can't go wrong!

I want for you
what I want for myself.
I wish true wealth & happiness on all of you.
I wish you well.
I wish you piece of mind.
I wish you an abundance of joy.

Unless interfered with by man,
the Laws of Nature are
Just and Honorable.

Every ones' livelihood comes from the Earth.
She is a great Provider.
'Give us this day our daily bread.'

It is the nature of this Planet to change it's shape and form. It is continually doing that. Sometimes it's hardly noticeable, at other times it is very radical.

Life, as we know it,
is dependent on
Earth, Water, Fire & Air.
We cannot afford
to lose any one of them.

At first, It's man using the drug.
Then, It's the drug using the man.

Eating meat
overheats the mind.

How many children believe
that milk comes from the Supermarket?

No one can get away from this question:
"How many people have died in the name of Religion?"

It's hard to tell
the difference
between a raving lunatic
& an enlightened Being.
I tattooed the Truth on my forehead.
Am I an enlightened Being
or a raving lunatic?
You decide, it's your life.

Recognize you,
recognize me.
I come from
the Silence
to set your free.

See yourself in others.
See others in yourself.
Without that, there is
no such thing as empathy.
Without that, it's merely
feeling sorrow.

People today are no more than food for the corporations. What are the corporations going to eat when the people are gone? This is a symptom of a dog-eat-dog society.

There are 3 things in life that you can be sure of; Death, Taxes & Guru Om. You can be sure the taxman isn't going to forget you. Neither am I.

When the Universe supports you,
you are obligated to reciprocate.
This Planet supports you.
How would you like to reciprocate?
When people don't support
then reciprocation is demanded
& the cost is high.

Truly free people
do not do
what they want,
they do
what is
necessary.

Death,
to a slave,
is Freedom.

Rights are like muscles,
use them or lose them.
First, know your rights,
then exercise them.

Weaken the American Constitution &
the citizens will suffer from
weak mental & physical health.

The reason the constitution
is being eroded away is
because of societies weakness.
Life has become too easy.

Freedom is
something one lives,
not brags about.

Before one can live freely,
one has to destroy
outmoded ideas & concepts.

Destruction always precedes
Freedom.

You can only be free of what you are aware of,
otherwise, you're just living in a prison
that your senses can't see or feel.

Supposedly, the terrorists are going to invade America & take our freedom away from us. If that's the case, they had better do it soon or there won't be any freedom left for them to take.

One is dreaming a dream called 'The World'.
The world of dreams is endless unless the unimaginable wakes you up.
The imaginable cannot wake you up because it's a dream.
I shatter dreams & fantasies & I'm not very well liked for it.

It's not
what I do,
It's
what I AM.

Simplicity
reigns
Supreme

Things get better
after you die;
don't worry.

People only talk about
what they can imagine.
The unimaginable
is beyond talking.
If you are looking
for the Truth,
that is where
you will have to go.

What are you
going to do
when you run
out of projections?
You'll have to
see things
as they really are.

There's nothing
behind you
but the void.
Without turning
or imagining;
prove me wrong.

One has to have
a balanced mind.
It's essential
for survival.

How can man be free
if he can't wander
his Planet at will?

First, you have to know
what you want to be free from.

If you want
to be free of debt,
stop spending.

Those who surrender
their 'wants'
are guaranteed
their 'needs'.

There is no such thing as satisfaction in a temporary world. Satisfaction comes about by destroying temporary worlds. When you come across a temporary appearing world that you cannot destroy; you will have found the real thing.

Everyone dreams,
therefore, the 'shattering'
will affect everyone.

At 5 years of age, I found out the hard way, through direct experience, the game is rigged. The pain I experienced from a very short time of believing is nothing in comparison to what you will feel after a life-time of believing.

They is what they is &
they can't change it!

How can you laugh
at what you haven't
dealt with?

Everything loses
its meaning
in the void.

The doing doesn't start
till the taking stops.
The catalyst for that
is a good shock.

Where you present at your birth?
Do you remember dying?
Do you really understand?
Or do you spend your lifetime trying?
People tell you who you are
And what you should be doing.
But you never stop and look yourself,
You just spend your lifetime fooling.

Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.
Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.

If you stop just for a moment
And you care to look inside
You'll find out what I'm saying
Is so easy to realize.
Then you won't have to be and do
Just what they want you to.
You can be yourself at any cost
And do well what you do.

Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.
Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.

You pretend that you don't know
Just what you want to do.
'Cause it saves you from the pain
If you cannot follow through.
And freedom is a heavy word
You've learned to go around.
It keeps you stuck in your small world
And pulls you further down.

Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.
Give it up,
Give it up,
The World is an illusion.

Never in my life did I ever charge anyone to come & sit with me. One man included me in his ignorance, so in no uncertain terms I made him wiser. He was not happy about that. "You can't speak to me like that!", he said in an angry way. "Yes, I can." Said I. "I did not charge you a cent for what I'm giving you, therefore, I can speak to you as I like. I don't remember you paying me to be nice to you? Now, pick up that big lump of meat you just plunked down in front of me, fuck off and don't come back." That man was twice the size of me. One good punch and I would of felt it. That didn't happen. It could not happen. It was an impossibility, for the simple reason; my integrity is intact. He had none.

Don't let anyone convince you that
'it's too big to fail!'.
That's bullshit.
The truth is, it's too big to survive.
No one, nor anything
is to big to fail.
If you don't believe me
ask the Roman Empire.
No one or anything
is too big to succeed.

Lack of equality
in the Justice system
has caused
all Empires to fail.

Spiders
don't get caught
in their own web.
People do.
The man even said,
"I got caught in a sticky situation".

It's a huge success
when there's no
elements missing.

You can't
have enlightenment
without giving
up ignorance.
Death
of Ignorance
is the
Birth
of Enlightenment.

My life may not be easy
but at least it's real.

The genuine Guru is
difficult to find.
He has no disciples.

What are the odds
of my being enlightened?
6 Billion to 1?
I accepted
those odds.
I AM that one.

Someone once said to me,
"Who do you think you are?"
"A nothing & a nobody, just like you!"

One may like change.
One may not like change.
Either way, it's
not very reliable.

What one gets
by giving up
is more valuable
than getting.
Therefore,
your loss
is
your gain.

At 5 years of age, I found out the hard way, through direct experience, the game is rigged. The pain I experienced, from a very short time of believing, is nothing in comparison to what you will feel after a life-time of believing.

As a child I was forced, with violence, to attend a Victorian era school system. One of the basic, founding principles of that system was 'Spare the rod and ruin the child'. In all honesty, I could not give you an accurate account of how many times violence was inflicted on me. For example, two canings on each hand was standard practice for speaking in class when I was told not to. Being wrongly accused and standing up to defend myself earned me, minimum, of 6 to 9 floggings on the ass with a 3' wet cane. At one point in the game, this is what I was made aware of; Mr. Miles, who metered out corporeal punishment, happened to be 6' tall, 50 years of age and weighed about 220 pounds, informed me in no uncertain terms that he had made it his goal in life to 'break' me. At that point of no return, I informed him, "Breaking me, sir, is no longer an option for you. The only option you have left now is to kill me." At that point, he heard the truth, and I might add, it did not please his ears. His blood pressure rose so fast and high that his face turned purple. He then lunged at me and grabbed my ear. He twisted it (which was a favorite Victorian trick) so hard that I was convinced he was going to tear it off my face. The pain was excruciating. He then proceeded, whilst twisting my ear, to forcibly drag me down the corridor and two flights of steps, opened his office door with his other hand and threw me across his desk. He then picked out his favorite cane which was thinner than the rest. (He had 5 different grades.) He walk to the opposite side of the room from where I was bent over his desk and proceeded to bend the cane in all directions. After he was satisfied with the canes' flexibility, he ran across the room with the cane behind his head and hit my ass with as much force as he could muster. He then walked back to the far end of the room and repeated the process. Nine times! My ass was so brutalized, literally, I could not sit down for a week. There were black and blue marks on my ass, twice the thickness of your thumb. I'll spare you the gory details of the amount of blood.

No one was ever brought to justice for that act. I am alive today to tell you the tale. I am also highly qualified to tell you about torture, corporeal punishment and brutalization. I will repeat what I said in the beginning. There are two options left to mankind now. You either put your life on the line, with no guarantees, or you roll over and piss. That option, I am told, has guarantees with it. That movie I have just described to you started in 1960. That Victorian school movie ran for 5 days a week, 7 hours a day. It finished in 1964.

What did I learn out of all that? I can tell you in 3 words. POWER OF FORGIVENESS. There were no choices, I had to forgive him. He, obviously, didn't know what he was doing. My inner intelligence also told me, 'you have two options, forgive him or carry it with you for the rest of your life.' And, by the way mate, don't forget.

About Me

I have been writing down Guru Oms' words that I have heard, almost on a daily basis. Guruji was a sheep shearer in the Outback of Australia for 18 years. He came to Australia as a boy of 15, without his family. All of the knowledge that he carries comes out of hard labor and sweat (not books). He is the embodiment of Compassion.(That's why, 25 years ago, He took Sanyas and was given the title SWAMI OMANANDA SARASVATI and affectionately called GURUJI or GURU OM.
I asked Guruji to write down his experiences as a Sheep Shearer as I wanted everyone to know this character..Yorky. At first he declined as he said, "Why would I do that, I had to live it?" Eventually he agreed (after much whingeing on my part) and these excerpts are only a small portion of 35 years in the Bush. Please visit the other blogs I post to with some of the stories.
http://theadventuresofyorky.
blogspot.com/
and the stories leading up to his emigration to Australia at http://aninheritance
fromyorkshire.blogspot.com/
(the stories are not in any order..so dive in & enjoy.)
The Mercurial
world is dedicated to the words that I hear daily from Guruji.
